What You've Missed...

...Or at least what I haven't blogged about!

Here are just some of the things we have been up to
It has been so pleasent here the last couple of weeks
Landry and I went to the park
She loves just running and playing

Love this girl!

So, how do you know it has been so nice out?

Landry's knees look like this

Poor girl got her mommy's clumsiness

Dani came over Saturday to help me transform Landry's room into her big girl room (more on that later) and we took her to dinner to thank her.

We love us some hibachi

Love this picture

Playing on the couch with Pop

She loves Angel (sometimes a little too much!)

For the Super Bowl we went over to the Boozer's house and Landry sat with Hilary for a while.

She loves Hilary!

Angel's new thing is to sit with Landry in her bed.

Last week while I was cooking dinner I couldn't find Landry or Angel and then heard something in her room.

Grabbed the camera and this is what I found.

She was reading to Angel!

For work, I get to travel and do a lot of neat things.

Last week I went to Orlando and did this event called the Cutting Edge. It is where we take pilots and other employees and let them work the ramp. We get to load the bags, sit on the car that pushes the plane back and help walk the plane to the runway. It is such a neat experience and one that I love doing.

My co-worker Meghan and I went together

After that, we got to go to Sea World and practically had the park to ourselves!

Last week, Landry and I met Dani and Bobby for lunch. We hardly ever get to see them, so when they asked us out, I couldn't resist!

Uncle Bobby let her have some of his chocolate milkshake

Getting a french fry from Aunt Dani

I think that about sums up the last two weeks.

Good job if you made it through picture palooza!

Love Day

Howdy!

Happy Valentines Day.

Valentines Day is usually not a huge fanfare in our house.

Tim always gets me some flowers, a sweet card and my favorite treat, chocolate covered strawberries.

This year, he got Landry her own card and it was the sweetest thing.

I put it on the table with my card and she kept grabbing it and looking at it knowing it was just for her from her daddy.

So, I was not expecting anything big this year but Tim went to the grocery store yesterday and was gone for a while, but I just thought it was busy so I didn't think much of it. He brought the groceries in like normal (yes, my husband does the laundry, cleans and grocery shops, what's the big deal?) and as I was putting them away, I saw a box with a camera on it. I said, "What's this?" and he just smiled. That stinker went out and bought me a new camera! I screamed. I have been wanting a new camera for a while, but with our anniversary coming up and probably a vacation this summer I just planned on waiting till next year. Don't you just love surprises like that?

So, here is my new camera! Along with a 2 year old that refuses to smile for me!

I love my hubby!

Happy Love Day!

Landry's Pancakes and Pajamas Party

For Landry's Birthday party, I wanted to do something fun and different.

As I was searching the internet, I came across the cutest idea of a pancakes and pajamas party.

I loved the idea of doing something in the morning and having the kids come in their cutest pajamas. Wouldn't you know it, we have had the craziest week!

A blizzard blew through our town and made it hard for our guests to get here.

We did the best we could with what we had though, and ended up having a great party!

For decorations, I went pretty low key and just made a banner, door sign and some tissue paper pom-poms

Since we were doing breakfast, I didn't want to do a big cake or anything, so instead, I made one of those big cupcakes. It turned out to be just enough for those wanting something sweet.
